While the Plants Were Dying

Terra knew she was lost in depression again when she saw three hours had passed and she hadn’t noticed. She’d been mindlessly scrolling through used clothes on eBay, thinking maybe if she got the bright yellow dress, or the striped red pants, things would change. Her mood and her life, things would happen so naturally, she wouldn’t even realize it. After spending a life wandering around, confused, anxious and alone, Terra, a florist, acquires a series of six esoteric self-help discs that are designed to help those struggling to ascend to their higher selves from her sister’s yard sale. ...Terra looked down at them. She’d never seen DVDS in a leather case before. “Are they home movies or something? They just look... odd. I don’t know. It’s strange there’s no title, right? Were they Bryon’s?” “Uh, no, one of those patients left them for me…” Her sister, Margo said, turning away. Terra placed the leather folder down on the corner of the table beside the stack of DVDs. It seemed out of place there….It didn’t seem to belong anywhere, just like Terra.
